Theres another glitch..Geco's can let go of the surface they are stuck to and walk...this tape sounds like it would stick...but how do you make it let go when you want it to?

Sounds cool. Although i cant imagine people to just be able to climb up walls like that. I can imagine you'd get very tired after a building or two ;)

Don't dust your house for a month or three, and it will look as if you have spiderman abilities. :D

And you'd know wouldnt you Johnny [img]tongue.gif[/img] *ACHOO*

Get off your beer drinking arse and tidy up you slob [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I work for a cleaningcompany, if anyone's place is clean here, it's mine. you could eat of the floor here, and that doesn't mean you'll find cookies on my carpet. :D

The only thing I can do when I have to eat is eat on, and from, my floor, did u know that dust tastes a little like pizza salad? [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/kidding.gif[/img]

But id it would come that kinda thing I would buy it, it would fit in to my apartment [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Is the thing waterproof? I mean what happens if we are in a middle of climbing a building and it suddenly rain?

i think the rain would get kinda 'stuck' between the gekko bristles. therefore each step loosing traction up the wall. i guess you'd have to stay there till the wall dried [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

this would be great if they could mass manufacture it, but there lies the problem. oh well back to the drawing board i spose. :(

and the way to let go would be to pull the tape. i think its a bit like velco, it sticks even under load, but if you pull from the right angle you can separate it. :D

How about transforming into a spider?
